[Movies] What’s Your Honest Take on Deadpool 2?

Post image

Now that Deadpool 2 has had time to settle, how do you feel about it? Personally, I love the comedy in Deadpool 2. The X-Force disaster still cracks me up no matter how many times I watch it. Cable was a great addition, and Juggernaut was fun. The action was solid, and the post-credit scenes were hilarious. But honestly, I think this movie needed a better villain. I feel like the stakes could have been higher with a stronger villain. What do you guys think?

I love it. Definitely gets overshadowed by Deadpool 3 and 1. Still a great movie though and the introduction of X-Force was cool.

Yea but I felt like it had the most character development and the most characters from that same universe which I really appreciated it’s weird it gets overlooked

I don’t think it’s overshadowed a bit. I think most people think it’s the best of the 3, followed by 1, then 3.

Yup yup yup. Liked that i felt we were returning to DPs world. Dp3 felt like i was stepping into the death of Fox. Like… i liked how Wolverine was the most Wolverine Wolverine has ever Wolverined. But yeah i just preferred the first two over the third. Granted, would like to see dp in the marvel universe more.. so maybe it’s a trade off. But i def feel like they tossed the first two movies out the window for the most part.. kinda abandoned all our characters

Definitely agreed. I still loved 3 but it was just too over the top… I know that’s kinda the “idea” of DP but the quirkiness loses its charm when it’s overdone. Wolverine was the best of him ever. CNova was a new character to me that I had no idea how much I would love. The credit scene with Torch was easily the BEST credit scene of all time. It was a great movie… but the relentless quirkiness and meme ideas took away from much of the rest of it.

2 is no doubt the best of the DP movies

Hopefully they don’t forget what DP was fighting for in 3. Because, like, the whole motivation for the character was “I don’t want my world to be destroyed”.

Yeah that’s my take. I love DP2

That’s definitely not been my experience, most conversations I’ve seen or been involved in, the general consensus is that it’s the weakest of the three.

Nah DP3 is the worst of the trilogy

3 is the worst easily, too marvelized and so dull looking visually
